Our TSS 8-Step Refurbishing Process
A detailed, step-by-step process covering component removal, cleaning, motor rebuilding, new-part installation, testing, and final shipping preparation.
From tear-down to final shipping check.
The TSS refurbishing process begins with removing old components, then moves through sand blasting, motor rebuilding, hot-water pressure washing, plastic heat treatment, installation of new parts, operational testing, and a final pre-shipment test with photo and video documentation.
Every step has a defined purpose.
Remove All Old Parts
Batteries, battery cables, drain hoses, vac motor, hour meter, battery gauge, drive motor, brush motors, solution valve, solution hose, drive tires, caster plate, caster wheels, tank gaskets, vac filters, inlet hose, debris cage, pad driver and pads are all removed.
Sand Blasting
Sand blast squeegee assembly and scrub deck as well as any other components that may need to be sandblasted is done at this stage.
Rebuilding Motors
At this stage we replace carbon brushes, bearings and resurface armature. We then test the motor using a battery pack bench before reassembling.
Pressure Wash
The entire unit is then pressure washed using hot water. We do this by hand to avoid getting the control panel wet. Both tanks are also pressure washed with hot water to remove any debris and chemical build up.
Heat Treat Plastics
Plastics are heat treated to remove scratches and make them look as good as new again.

Testing
Units are tested for 30 minutes to ensure proper operation. If any issues are found during testing, the unit is looked over by our lead mechanic and fully diagnosed and fixed before shipping.
Shipping Stage
Units are tested again before shipping. Videos and pictures are taken to show proper operation of the unit before it leaves our facility. Pictures are also taken for the shipping process in case any damages occur during shipment with the carrier.
Testing happens before the machine ships.
Each unit receives a 30-minute operational test. If an issue is found, the lead mechanic diagnoses and corrects it before shipping.
Photos and video document operation before departure.
Videos and pictures are taken to show proper operation, and shipping photos are taken in case damage occurs during transit.
